Atoms of metallic elements can form ionic bonds but they are not very good at forming covalent bonds why?
they have a great tendency to lose electrons
Atoms of metallic elements can form ionic bonds but they are not very good at forming covalent bonds. Why?
they have a great tendency to lose electrons
Ionic bonds form because the atoms involved have?
Different charges
What is intermolecular hydrogen bonds?
A positive hydrogen atom has a tendency to attract more negative atoms like oxygen. Intermolecular bonds can be within molecules or between molecules.
What does it mean when covalent bonds are polar?
It means that the atoms involved in the bond do not share the electrons equally.

What part of in atoms is involved in bonding?
Atoms form bonds by sharing the outer electrons.
Ionic bonds form because the atoms involved have?
Different charges
What happens to the atoms of an object or a substance during a chemical reaction?
The atoms involved in a chemical reaction have their bonds broken, new bonds formed, or existing bonds rearranged depending on the reaction type.
What are properties of a mineral related to?
Strength of bonds between atoms
What are the name of the particles that are involved in making and breaking chemical bonds?
These particles are atoms.
What forces are involved when two or more atoms share electrons?
covalent bonds
What is intermolecular hydrogen bonds?
A positive hydrogen atom has a tendency to attract more negative atoms like oxygen. Intermolecular bonds can be within molecules or between molecules.
How are electrons shared in nonpolor covalent bond?
Electrons in nonpolar covalent bonds are shared equally between the atoms involved. Covalent bonds between atoms of the same element display this kind of bond. However, bonds between atoms of different atoms can be nonpolar as well. Such bonds include the covalent bond between carbon and hydrogen.
What does it mean when covalent bonds are polar?
It means that the atoms involved in the bond do not share the electrons equally.
When atoms form chemical bonds which of these electrons are involved in the bonds?
the valence electrons take place i.e, the electrons present on outermost shell.
